You can just get the patches instead of the whole 2.2.3. Just get the 2.2.2 _and_ the 2.2.3 and them patch them in this order (read linux/README if you have any doubts). Oh, make sure you do a 'make-kpkg clean' before you start. I always get the source package for the kernel and compile them myself by hand, aplying any patch I see fit :-) (I'm compiling 2.2.3 as I write this). -- Pedro Guerreiro (aka digito) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -------------------------------------------------------- Diplomacy: the art of letting someone have your own way.
